The study of material plasma exposure experiments and plasma‐material interactions is critical for advancing fusion energy research and the development of next‐generation plasma facing components.

A new article describes how heating core of the plasma can create sheared flow that improves stability and performance of fusion devices. Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Princeton ...

(Nanowerk News) On 27th January 2010 the 25th series of experiments studying complex plasmas will start on board the international space station ISS. Physicists from the Max-Planck-Institute for ...

With dual lasers, researchers have accelerated a high-quality beam of electrons to 10 billion electronvolts in just 30 centimeters. The experiment gives scientists a 'frame-by-frame' look at how a ...
